| This is a sextant gauge for FS2004. Because of its complexity, it comes with several training aids. If you are familiar with navigation using sextants you may not need all this material. In addition to this document, you should have received one gauge file and three sample flight files. This document has the following sections: Index Introduction Installation instructions To make a star shot, from an assumed position and time Detailed users instructions Background Setup flight Example flight Air Almanac Glossary of terms Miscellaneous This manual is not intended to be a tutorial on how to navigate, or even how to undertake celestial navigation. Dave Bitzer has an article in the Navigation section of the Tech Editor's page at www.dc3airways.com that describes his ideas (albeit for FS2002) for simulating old time navigation which may help you. It also has references to other tutorial documents. |
